Résumé

In Handbook of Software Fault Localization : Foundations and Advances, distinguished computer scientists Prof. W. Eric Wong and Prof. T. H. Tse deliver a comprehensive treatment of modern techniques, tools, and key issues in software fault localization. The authors provide a collective discussion of fault localization strategies, with particular emphasis on the most important features of each approach.
The book also explores critical aspects of software fault localization, including multiple bugs, successful and failed test cases, coincidental correctness, faults introduced by missing code, the combination of several fault localization techniques, ties within fault localization rankings, concurrency bugs, spreadsheet fault localization, and theoretical studies on fault localization. Readers will benefit from the authors' clear explanations of how to apply cost-effective techniques in a variety of real-world environments.
They will also discover in-depth explorations of recent research directions in this field. Handbook of Software Fault Localization also includes : A thorough introduction to the concepts of software testing and debugging, their importance, common challenges, and the consequences of inadequate practices. Comprehensive coverage of traditional fault localization techniques, including program logging, assertions, and breakpoints.
Practical discussions of slicing-based, program spectrum-based, and statistics-based techniques. In-depth examinations of machine learning-, data mining-, and model-based approaches to software fault localization. Perfect for researchers, professors, and students studying or working in the field, Handbook of Software Fault Localization : Foundations and Advances is also an indispensable resource for software engineers, managers, and software project decision-makers responsible for schedule and budget control.
W. Eric Wong is a Full Professor, Director of the Software Engineering Program, and Founding Director of the Advanced Research Center for Software Testing and Quality Assurance in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas. He is also a Guest Researcher at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. Professor Wong received the 2014 IEEE Reliability Society Engineer of the Year Award.
In addition, he served as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Reliability from June 2016 to May 2022. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Purdue University. T. H. Tse received his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford. He is an Honorary Professor in Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong following his retirement from a full professorship.
He serves as Steering Committee Chair of the IEEE International Conference on Software Quality, Reliability, and Security and as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Reliability. He has published more than 270 works, including a book with Cambridge University Press. He is internationally ranked No. 2 in metamorphic testing and was awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
